Thermal response test (TRT) is an established method to determine design parameters for borehole heat exchanger (BHE) systems; borehole thermal resistance and effective ground thermal conductivity. Most commonly, these tests are performed with heat injection, using the same assumed power level as the planned BHE system. For a thorough description of TRT and current activities around the world, ...

A thermoviscoelastic body model is formulated, that comprises the nonlinear hyperbolic heat conductivity equation. A dependence of the thermal flux relaxation time on the magnitude of heat flux and temperature has been built. The examples of solving particular problems are given. The calculation results are compared to the experimenlal ones.

We study the heat generation in ferromagnet-quantum dot-ferromagnet system by the non-equilibrium Green's functions method. Heat generation under the influence of ferromagnet leads is very different compared with a system with normal metal leads. The significant effects in heat generation are caused by the polarization angle θ associated with the orientation of polarized magnetic moment of elec...

In this article, we draw from Conservation of Resources Theory to advance and test a framework which predicts that emotional exhaustion plays an explanatory role underlying the relation between workplace anxiety and job performance. Further, we draw from social exchange theories to predict that leader-member exchange and coworker exchange will mitigate the harmful effects of anxiety on job perf...

Article history: Received 18 January 2012 Received in revised form 24 November 2012 Accepted 26 November 2012 Available online 20 December 2012 The present study examined the mediating and moderating processes in the relationship between ethical leadership and employee citizenship behavior as well as work withdrawal behavior using a sample of 277 employees and their supervisors from the People'...

OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to examine the links between empathy, emotional labor (both surface and deep acting), and emotional exhaustion as well as determine if emotional labor mediates the relationship between empathy and emotional exhaustion in teachers. It was assumed that emotional labor can take two opposite directions (positive mood induction and negative mood induction). ...

PURPOSE Burnout is a threat to the primary care workforce. We investigated the relationship between team structure, team culture, and emotional exhaustion of clinicians and staff in primary care practices. METHODS We surveyed 231 clinicians and 280 staff members of 10 public and 6 university-run primary care clinics in San Francisco in 2012. Predictor variables included team structure, such a...
